Am enjoying it so far. Adele was great as were Madness..
At the mo watching Cyndi Lauper singing an acoustic version of Time after Time. Gorgeous.
ELO coming on soon. Wish they'd hurry up!
Gregory Porter's set is on BBC4 at 8.00pm.
Some acts like Will Young and Ralph McTell have not been shown at all AFIK. A pity as I like both.
Ah ELO here we go!

Ralph McTell did one song on the balcony yesterday but that was it I think. Might be on the website though.

Often when I watch bands on the Glastonbury coverage I am amazed by how out of tune they are but the tiny bit I have seen this year seemed much better. ELO are doing well on that front. Has everyone got better or is the sound equipment helping like it did with the Spice Girls allegedly!!?? The other week I watched Duran Duran at the Eden project and Simon le Bon sounded good, certainly better than I thought he would. That was a recording so I wondered if the sound might have been touched up but perhaps he is better than I gave him credit for. I only heard them on TV/video in their heyday.

Loving ELO. The hits just keep on coming. Singing along with volume on 11! Fantastic.

What a sweet chap! And I liked the way he said we could do it cos we were all rehearsed up otherwise it would take us a month to get up to scratch. Pride in performance, well done Jeff.

None of his friends will ever be able to top that, will they?

It's great this year - we loved Adele last night, and ELO were brilliant, and Greg.Porter, and......stops to draw breath....We both love Coldplay so are shivering in anticipation. Might have to open up the booze cupboard!

Blimey Coldplay have gone for broke with the lights and fireworks haven't they? I have sidetracked into watching them now, I have been trying to watch an old Midsomer for about two hours and have only got through about 40minutes. I have have never been to Glastonbury but the one thing I could never stand at open air concerts was being stuck behind some girl on her boyfriend's shoulders!!

Watching Coldplay, the lighting effects are spectacular, especially the illuminated wristbands in the audience.
Bit irritated by Chris Martin's comment, "You've suffered rain, mud, and the country has collapsed!" Okay, if you say so then *eye roll*.

I think it was a joke, wasn't it?

I think it was a joke, wasn't it? Hard to tell! I thought, given the young audience, they were more likely to think it was a serious point. No doubt it'll pop up on social media!
